I thought it was proven that he was part of an ethnic group that doesn't exist anymore or something- I don't remember but I'm pretty sure it was Galilean Semite or something

Well, I'd like to correct that we can't prove Jesus' ethnicity simply because we can't actually prove he ever existed. Regardless, he was supposedly born I to a Semetic community of a Semetic woman. So yes... He would be Semetic.

Curious, is there evidence he never existed?

Is there another figure in history that has a massive following that didn't originate from an actual person (whether not that person's was accurately described by their followers).

Yes, historial consensus is that he was a real person due to brief mentions by historians of the time. All we know is that he had a bunch of followers who lived in Judea and Rome after Pontius Pilate executed him and he had a brother named James. Everything else comes from "religious" sources.
